It fits within the existing infrastructure and is the perfect choice for organizations looking for ways to reduce the time needed to plan and deploy a new architecture. Having the software and hardware from a single vendor, delivering single support, dramatically simplifies the process of procuring and employing an entirely architected SDS solution. Also, the ability to select from different deployment models and configurations, including All-Flash, provides the flexibility to select pre-configured Ready Nodes that best meet your business objectives. This document details the deployment of the Dell EMC ScaleIO Ready Node using the Dell EMC Networking S5048F-ON 25 GbE switch. The Dell EMC Networking S5048F-ON is the latest in the S-series of
